The Palace of Auburn Hills has been the home of Detroit Pistons Basketball for years now. We have visited several games throughout the years. It's a very nice facility that sits right on a hill in Auburn Hills, Michigan. You can see it afar off...More

Although the Pistons have moved back downtown, Palace still a solid venue for concerts, etc. Luxury boxes small, but still comfy. Good acoustics. Plenty of good parking. It’s no Little Caesar’s Arena, but it’s still usable.

On our drive around in the area today we saw that there was an Auburn Hills Taste Fest at the palace on October 12th. So maybe they're going to use the parking lot for this event. However, I was told that the Palace itself is...More

So not only do you pay astronomical prices to see a concert, which is the artist's fault, but you also get charged for parking. On the website it says it's $15 but when you get there and have no where else to go your charged...More

I'm a fan of the Palace. I've been to many events there over the years, from basketball games to Disney On Ice. I'm so sad that they decided to close the whole venue since the Pistons are moving. It would still make a fantastic concert/event...More

Getting in and out of this building is the worst part. The traffic jams are crazy give yourself some time. The sound for a concert is ok however there was dried puke all over the seats that had been there from previous events.

Saw Bruno Mars here with a group of friends. The acoustics in this place are awesome, and there really doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house!
My only issue with this spot is the enormous and overwhelming traffic jam in and out...More

Your trip should only take 2-1/2 hours unless it's a weekday and it's rush hour. If that is so plan on adding at least an hour for the heavy traffic on I-75 between Detroit and your exit 81 onto Lapeer Road/M-24 where there is heavy construction. If you go to exit 83 Joslyn Road and turn right (North) almost immediately on your right is Harmon Road (there is a light). That will take you to the "back" entrance to the Palace (about 1.5 miles) and you'll bypass huge traffic!
The worst congestion between Detroit and Auburn Hills is at the I-94 Interchange, I-696 Interchange exit 61, Fourteen Mile exit 65, Big Beaver Road exit 69, Square Lake Road exit 75, M59 Interchange at exit 77, and the Lapeer Road/M-24 exit.
If you came early there is an outlet mall, Great Lakes Crossing, at the Joslyn Road exit 83. Lots of shops and places to eat! You would turn left (south) at the exit and then right (west) in about 1/4 mile.

Section 117 is in the lower bowl corner . You will be facing the stage at a good angle to your slight right. There is enough pitch on the rise of the stadium seating to see well unless, of course, someone is standing in the row in front of you (which they probably will be and then you will be)! That's the nature of concerts. You won't be close enough to get stage sweat but your tickets are in the lower bowl and the sound quality is better.
